World’s second-largest diamond ever found named ‘Our Light’

Canada's Lucara Diamond (TSX:LUC) has named as “Lesedi La Rona", which means "our light" (in the Tswana language spoken in Botswana) the giant 1,111-carat diamond it found in November at its Karowe Mine in Botswana.

On Jan. 18, the Vancouver-based miner launched a competition to name the rock, the largest discovered in 100 years, and which is second in size only to the Cullinan diamond in the British Crown jewels.
